The success rate of implementing voting programs by the government parties in the years 2018-2021
Regner, Jakub ; Hájek, Lukáš (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
This bachelor thesis aims to determine to what extent the governing parties ANO and ČSSD managed to fulfil their 2017 election programmes during the 2018-2021 electoral period. From the text of the election programmes, pledges were identified through content analysis, and each pledge was assigned to a category according to a thematic area. The results of the research showed that the ANO movement managed to fulfil 55% of all testable promises, while the ČSSD fulfilled only 36% of the promises from its election programme. The results also confirm the hypothesis based on the theoretical assumption of the functioning of the party mandate model in developed democracies, where holding the prime minister's seat leads to a higher rate of fulfilment of the electoral programme. It is this positive effect that has not been confirmed in the cases of previous elections. The paper identifies the covid-19 pandemic as one of the external factors that could have significantly affected the number of promises fulfilled.

Kocábek, Pavel ; Kubátová, Hana (advisor) ; Hájek, Lukáš (referee)
This thesis deals with far-right parties in Slovakia. The objective is to compare them based on selected factors in order to answer the question: Who is the far-right voter in Slovakia today? For this purpose, the most successful far-right parties in recent years were chosen: the Slovak National Party (SNS), the People's Party Our Slovakia (ĽSNS), and a new formation called Republic. The factors adopted are characteristics and genesis, electorate and geographic support definition, and electoral volatility. The paper is divided into four parts. The first part concerns the far-right in Eastern Europe and Slovakia especially. In the second part, the focus is placed on the milestones that shaped and changed the Slovak political environment. Specifically, these are the Slovak state, the transformation period, Mečiar and anti-Hungarian politics, the fall of Mečiar, Fico and a government with the SNS, and the murder of Ján Kuciak. The third chapter analyses individual parties according to the factors mentioned above. Finally, the comparison itself is approached, where differences are identified but particularly parallels. Based on these findings, the author subsequently answers the research question.

The Anlaysis of the Election Campaign of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in 1946 Elections
Součková, Karolína ; Charvát, Jan (advisor) ; Hájek, Lukáš (referee)
The thesis deals with the election campaign in the elections to the National Assembly, namely the campaign of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. In this example, we can clearly see how strongly campaign can impress and what influence the voter's final decision has. After the World War II, the position of the Communist Party was determined by its attitude towards the Munich events in 1938 and its activities during the Second World War - the Communist Party was undeniably a significant part of the Czechoslovak resistance and by the post- war political system. Compared to the other parties allowed after the Second World War, it had the potential to become the main political force in the country. It was through this effective propaganda that it could use this position and lead the party to victory in the elections in 1946. The art of promoting communist ideology as an ideal choice for most Czechoslovak citizens is a key reason for the success of this party. The elections in 1946 were the first after World War II, and therefore a key to the country's further direction. The Communists were well aware of this importance, and it was reflected in their thorough preparation. The other parties were also aware of this importace of these elections, but their campaign was weak compared to the CPC. The CPC...
